Two reasons it's funny:

1. He'll never re-coop his losses from a lawsuit.

Why not? He will also loose his investment in this house with such a
shabby foundation. Walls will have major cracking and will not appreciate
in value. Op will have a difficult time selling if he does not get this
dealt with immediately.

2. Should have been watching as it was being built.


You are assuming he ordered the house. Many builders build and then sell.
Can't do much about that. It is still built in violation of the building
code. The contractor is in jeopardy of loosing his license if this goes to
court.

Why is this funny? A house with code violations has reduced value on
the market, buyer should be compensated for his losses.
